Target Audience

Dentists, Pediatric Dentists, Auxiliary Staff,

Program Purpose

Bites, Bytes and Bites

This program will span a variety of topics, ranging from pediatric preventive and interceptive orthodontics (Bite #1), to issues with parental demands based on their internet "education" (Byte #2) to nutritional guidance for a healthier life (Bite #3). The final section will include a session about no bites, namely managing the behavior in the pediatric dental setting. The specifics on the courses are:

Pediatric Preventive and Interceptive Orthodontics:
This course will include a discussion of space maintenance, oral habits and simple corrections of crossbites and other developmental issues. It is not intended as a comprehensive orthodontic program, but will emphasize pediatric procedures.

I was on the Internet Last Night
With this particular issue becoming greater all the time, the focus here will be on how it has arisen, grown and become, at times, a headache for practitioners. Specific strategies for dealing with various issues will be included.

Food as Your Farm-acy
Daily food choices create the foundation for your overall health and ultimately the health of your practice. We will cover eating plans, food strategies, hidden influences, sugar awareness and current topics. We will look at the food we can eat (or not) and identify action steps, both large and small, that add up a lifetime of well-being.

Getting Past "Uh-oh," "No" and Helicopters
Behavior management in the pediatric dental setting is key to success in both the technical and the social aspects of dental care for children. This session will include videos to illustrate points about managing oneself, the child and the parents.

Conference Sessions generally take place on days at sea (as itinerary allows), giving you plenty of time to enjoy your meals, evenings and ports of call with your companion, family and friends.

Dr. Greg Psaltis has been a pediatric dentist for 43 years, most of which have been in private practice in Olympia, Washington. His varied career has included 23 years as a speaker, both nationally and internationally.

He is currently involved with two volunteer clinics in Mexico that he developed. Each provides comprehensive care for the indigent and medically compromised children of the Los Cabos and Zihuatanejo areas. He has published in several dental journals and was given the Gordon Christensen Speaker Award for excellence in professional presentations.

Mary Ellen Psaltis, Bachelor in Philosophy, BPh

Mary Ellen's professional writing about food and lifestyles has spanned over thirty years. Her interactions with chefs, farmers, and restaurateurs led to greater involvement in nutrition education and teaching.

Mary Ellen speaks nationally on creating optimal nutrition and making thoughtful life choices. Her local classes focus on supporting people along their healthful life journeys. She accompanies Greg on their Mexican mission trips as a dental assistant.

One of America's tech centers (Amazon and Microsoft are both headquartered here), the city is abuzz with the interesting people attracted to the opportunities to be found there.

Ketchikan, Alaska - Immerse yourself in Tlingit Indian culture as you view the world's largest collection of totem poles; kayak the colorful waterfront.

Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier - One of Alaska's lesser-known gems, Endicott Arm Fjord marks the southern edge of Fords Terror Wilderness area. As you drift through its 30 -mile-long stretch, you can't help but be awed by the sorrounding granite cliffs, mountain valleys and dozens of gushing waterfalls. Drifting icebergs, deep blue waters and a spectacular tidewater glacier only add to this natural spectacle's appeal.

Cruise Line cancellation policies are strictly enforced. For that reason, we urge all of our travelers to carefully consider whether travel protection is a good value for them.

Certainly, if you have reason to think that "something might come up" that might force you to cancel, travel protection is worth the cost of the premium. Examples we've seen in the past include ill or frail family members and changes in employment causing relocation.

If travel protection is the right choice for you, we recommend TravelSafe. To visit their site and explore your options click here or on the link above. The cruise lines also offer travel insurance and we'd be happy to help you go that route if you'd prefer.

Travel Protection Plans

TravelSafe Basic Plan - A plan for those who want just the bare necessities.

TravelSafe Classic Plan - TravelSafe's most popular plan includes higher limits on all of the important benefits to expand your coverage. Add Cancel For Any Reason for even more coverage.
